Jelly Roll and his wife, Bunnie XO, are planning to expand their family through surrogacy. The couple shared this heartfelt decision during the latest episode of Bunnie’s Dumb Blonde podcast. Bunnie, who is 44 years old, opened up about her struggles with carrying a baby and the emotional toll of multiple pregnancy losses. She explained that these experiences have made it difficult for her to handle another loss, both emotionally and mentally.
The couple’s journey with in vitro fertilization (IVF) began a few months ago. Bunnie expressed that she feels she has accomplished much in her life, but the desire to raise a baby and garden remains unfulfilled. She described this phase of her life as her “baby mama and gardening era.” When she asked Jelly Roll how he felt about having a child together, he responded with enthusiasm, saying, “I would love to have a baby with you.”
Initially, Bunnie and Jelly Roll planned to keep their IVF journey private, intending to share the news only after the baby’s arrival. However, Jelly Roll’s excitement led him to share their plans on another podcast. When he informed Bunnie of his slip-up, she was initially stressed but soon embraced his enthusiasm. She realized that her husband’s excitement about having a child with her was something to celebrate.
During the podcast episode, Bunnie addressed internet trolls who leave negative comments and revealed that they plan to begin their IVF journey in 2025. They are considering having twins but intend to keep the rest of their journey private. Bunnie is already a stepmother to Jelly Roll’s two children from previous relationships: Bailee Ann, 15, and Noah Buddy, 7.
The couple’s decision to pursue surrogacy is a testament to their resilience and commitment to building a family together. Despite the challenges they have faced, their love and support for each other remain strong. Jelly Roll’s excitement and Bunnie’s determination to fulfill her dream of raising a child highlight the couple’s unwavering bond.
Bunnie also shared her thoughts on the importance of keeping their journey private to avoid negativity. She emphasized that people on the internet often try to ruin beautiful things, and she wanted to protect their experience from such negativity. However, Jelly Roll’s genuine excitement about having a child with Bunnie made her realize that sharing their journey could also be a source of joy and inspiration for others.
The couple’s openness about their struggles and their decision to pursue surrogacy sheds light on the emotional and mental challenges many couples face when dealing with infertility. Their story is a reminder that there are many paths to parenthood, and each journey is unique and special.
As they prepare to start their IVF journey in 2025, Bunnie and Jelly Roll are focused on maintaining their privacy and protecting their experience from negativity. They are excited about the possibility of having twins and are looking forward to the day they can announce the arrival of their baby.
Bunnie’s role as a stepmother to Jelly Roll’s children has already given her a taste of motherhood, and she is eager to expand their family. Her love and dedication to her stepchildren are evident, and she looks forward to sharing that same love with her own child.
Jelly Roll and Bunnie’s decision to pursue surrogacy is a beautiful example of their commitment to each other and their dream of building a family. Their journey is a testament to the power of love, resilience, and the importance of supporting each other through life’s challenges.
As they embark on this new chapter, Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO are excited about the future and the possibility of welcoming a new addition to their family. Their story is a source of inspiration for many, and their openness about their journey provides hope and encouragement to others facing similar challenges.
